SCO0138 - HoudaSpot v2 and HoudaGeo

Not one but two top applications featured in this
weeks show! This weeks episode is sponsored by
Houdah Software and I cover
both HoudahSpot and HoudahGeo.
HoudahSpot is
no stranger to regular ScreenCastsOnline viewers
as we covered it back in March 2007. Since then,
HoudahSpot has been completely re-written to take
advantage of some of the new technologies in OS X
Leopard. HoudahSpot is really what Spotlight
should have been and even with the improvements
to Spotlight in Leopard, HoudaSpot enables you to
take search on the Mac to the next level. It
doesn't replace the underlying Spotlight engine,
it justs gives you a much more flexible yet
powerful "front end" to your Spotlight data. Add
in Templates, the new BlitzSearch Menubar icon,
integration with Launchbar and much more,
HoudahSpot is a great addition to your Mac.
HoudahGeo is
one of those applications you need to see to
fully understand its capabilities! That's why we
have ScreenCastsOnline! It's an application that
allows you to easily "geotag" your photos with
location data without needing access to a
specialised GPS device or expensive GPS enable
camera. HoudaGeo lets you simply add in location
data visually using either a simple Map option or
using its built in integration with Google Earth.
But if you have got a GPS tracker, it can use
that as well!
As well as allowing you to "Geotag" your photos, HoudahGeo also allows you to share you photos with its built in uploading integration with Google Earth and Flickr. Once Geotagged, just a click of a button and your photos will be uploaded and placed in the correct position on global maps with Google Earth or Flickr - it's really that easy!
Once you've exported to Google Earth, the show will demonstrate how you can create a virtual slideshow in Google Earth, flying from loction to location and displaying your photos at each location! Not only that, but you can email the slideshow to friends or family and they can watch it in Google Earth on their own computer (without needing a copy of HoudahGeo) - how cool is that!
